3 I. Introduction New techniques such as cDNA microarrays have enabled us to analyze global gene expression1-3 . However, almost all cell functions are executed by proteins, which cannot be studied simply through DNA and RNA techniques. Experimental analysis clearly shows disparity can exist between the relative expression levels of mRNA and their corresponding proteins4 . Therefore, analysis of the proteomic profile is critical. The conventional approach to analyzing multiple protein expression levels has been to use 2-D SDS-PAGE coupled with mass spectrometry5,6 . However, these methods are slow, expensive, labor- intensive and require specialized equipment7 . Thus, effective study of multiple protein expression levels can be complicated, costly and time-consuming. Moreover, these traditional methods of proteomics are not sensitive enough to detect most cytokines (typically at pg/ml concentrations). Cytokines, broadly defined as secreted cellCcell signaling proteins distinct from classic hormones or neurotransmitters, play important roles in inflammation, innate immunity, apoptosis, angiogenesis, cell growth and differentiation7 . They are involved in most diseases, including cancer, obesity and inflammatory and cardiac diseases. Simultaneous detection of multiple cytokines undoubtedly provides a powerful tool to study cytokines. Regulation of cellular processes by cytokines is a complex, dynamic process, often involving multiple proteins. Positive and negative feedback loops, pleiotropic effects and redundant functions, spatial and temporal expression of or synergistic interactions between multiple cytokines, even regulation via release of soluble forms of membrane-bound receptors, all are common mechanisms modulating the effects of cytokine signaling8-14 . As such, unraveling the role of individual cytokines in physiologic or pathologic processes generally requires consideration and detection of multiple cytokines rather than of a single cytokine.
